I was sent an awesome new Bible to review from Tyndale House, the NLT Girls Life Application Study Bible. I was so excited to see this Bible in real life and was even more impressed than I thought I would be when I opened it! it is simply gorgeous and perfect for a girl.

The Bible is a regular size, with a soft leather cover, and the Bible inside is, THE BIBLE…not much to review there!!! It is the NLT ~ which is not a translation we use often, we are mostly NIV folks around here. I read through several parts of the Bible and it didn’t bother me at all that it wasn’t my normal NIV.

The Life Application portion of the Bible is great, with many different stories and notes focused around preteen girls. It also has several key features that make it unique…

“What Now?” Learn how to make good choices in tough times

“I Survived!” Personal survival stories from older teens about how they made it

“Amazing Facts” Bible trivia

“At a Glance”—the lives of famous women in the Bible—good and bad—become lessons for teens

“Is It OK?” A reality check on what the Bible says about the questions that are really on your mind

2-color interior; 16 pages of full-color illustrations about Bible times

Book introductions and timelines

Charts and 3-dimensional maps

Unique colored pattern on outside of page edges

I am saving this Bible to be Ladybug’s first Big Girl Bible ;-). It is already hers, but she just doesn’t know it yet! We are grateful to Tyndale House for sending us this awesome Bible to review! You can purchase this Bible here on CBD!
